Does Innovation Impact the Economy and How Chicago Inno

Despite a thriving national innovation economy - VC funding hit its highest total since 2001 in 2014 - the country's productivity growth has slowed tremendously, averaging less than half its historical rate since 2011. So, the innovation economy is good. But the economy? Not so much.

To tackle this dichotomy, Capital Ideas - Chicago Booth School of Business’ monthly video series - invited a panel of experts to discuss how the U.S. economy is impacted by innovation and if the latter can save the former.
